** When reading the clue for the "landing the helicopter" Fast Forward, Dave thought it would involve landing a real helicopter. Upon hearing this, Rachel mocked him for thinking the producers would actually let them fly a real helicopter, and even told him it had to be a remote controlled helicopter. [[note:]] To be entirely fair, once Rachel pointed out the absurdity of the producers letting them fly a helicopter, Dave up the more plausible notion that they would be directing the helicopter to the landing pad not actually flying it.

Friends and "Guidos," they they were an obvious play on the then current popularity of ''Series/JerseyShore'', with the editors taking them as about as seriously as seriously as the rest of America took the cast of ''Series/JerseyShore''. They started off weak, only avoiding elimination in the first leg due to Misa & Maiya's Pit Stop blunder, but were able to recover and pull of a number of top 3 finishes. Their momentum died in leg 6, however, when they went for the Fast Forward in Azerbaijan, and ended up losing a hay bale stacking race to Rachel & Dave. This put them so far behind they never saw another team after that, and they finished 7th.

* UnwinnableByMistake: Their last leg was everything but a ForegoneConclusion, starting two hours behind the second-to-last team, on a leg with tasks that were more time consuming than challenging, and without an equalizer to help them catch up. Even when they managed to make up the deficit between them and Vanessa & Ralph due to mistakes and a U-Turn affecting the latter team, they were then hit with a rather lengthy Speed Bump, which put them out of the Race.[[note]]This is most likely due to the producers overcompensating after [[Characters/TheAmazingRace17 Nick & Vicki]] survived quitting a Detour due to an unfortunately placed non-elimination point, and the backlash that occurred within the fanbase due to that[[/note]]

** Dave dabbled into this from time to time as well. During the Nairobi Airport fight, a woman at the airport asks Dave if they're from America and he replies "Regretfully we are"



** Also on leg 3, they worked to the nighttime on the watermelon stacking Detour rather than switching.

Airport flight. When accused of shoving Rachel Reilly, Vanessa questioned how that was possible when she was both in front of Rachel and smaller than her. Rachel Reilly took the comment as a crack at her weight, though Vanessa insisted she didn't mean it like that.

Rachel and Dave were actually the third team to have a finishing avg. better than 2.00, not the second.


Army combat pilot and his wife, they had spent a lot of time apart due to Dave being deployed in Iraq for a year. They used their physical abilities to dominate the season, winning a record eight legs, and becoming only the second team to crack a finishing average better than 2.00[[note]][[Characters/TheAmazingRace9 Eric & Jeremy]] being the first, though Marc & Rovilson also did it in [[Characters/TheAmazingRaceAsia2 Asia 2]].[[/note]]. All was not sunshine with the couple though, as their time apart and Dave's army training caused him to be rather stern with his wife. He yelled at Rachel a lot, treating her like a soldier instead of a spouse, which she did not just take, responding to his verbal abuse with a boatload of snark. They led for most of the final leg, but almost blew it when they followed the wrong path at the Coral Kingdom Gate, and ended up running to the Finish Line instead of the second Roadblock. Phil turned them away, but they were able to make up the time lost when Art struggled with the sledding portion of the Roadblock, as Rachel passed him, and they officially checked in for the win.
